Congratulations to Spring Barrett who was baptized into Christ last week by Gary Milton.  We rejoice with Spring and her family.
 
Thank You
Words cannot express our deep heartfelt appreciation for all of the love shown to us during the passing of Justin’s mom.  All of the texts, visits, hugs, and beautiful flowers were so appreciated.  We love you all and are so thankful for a loving church family.  Thank you.  The Monroe Family

Summer Missions
This summer we have two opportunities for you to participate in mission trips—one to Casa de la Esperanza in Mexico and another to Togo, West Africa. Spaces are limited, so contact the church office soon for information. Some of the expense for these trips is offset by our Grace Offering. Additional financial assistance is available. These trips are great ways to spread the good news, serve others, and connect with PACOC members.

TODD'S TAKE

Good morning and welcome to our worship service. A special welcome to our guests. Let us know if you have any questions about what we are all about.

Today we take time to welcome Justin Banks to the eldership of Park Avenue and to reinstate Gary Calvert, Greg Clay, George Hatfield, David Kirkbride, and Blake Smith. Over the years PACOC has been so blessed by godly leadership and we continue to ask prayers for these men as they lead this body of Christ.
 
Grace Offering
Our Grace Offering is Sunday, April 9. Our financial goal is $156,100, almost 8 times our weekly budget. Please be prayerful about how you can support the outreach ministries of PACOC. The Grace Offering kicks off the week    before Easter on Sunday, April 2 as Daisy’s Little Red Wagon makes its annual appearance for our children’s coin collection. This year we have been able to add two new mission points in Colombia and Monterrey. Be on the lookout for more details in the weeks to come.

New Sermon Series
This morning as we approach Easter and the celebration of the resurrection I will begin a sermon series called “Raised” based on 1 Corinthians 15. This is one of the greatest chapters in the New Testament as Paul lays out the evidence and the necessity of the resurrection of Jesus. We will explore how the resurrection is an undeniable historic fact. That the resurrection is indispensable to our faith. That it promises us an imperishable body. And that our faith in the resurrection makes us unshakable in our Christian walk!
